Are you ever going to upload more videos of Nautilus?

@doonbugie Would love to, but she is currently on land getting an overhaul. The builder of the sub is also a partner in the Copenhagensuborbitals project to send a person into space - what to prioritise?

what is he going to with it ?

[porpoisefathom]

how much ballast water do you need and is there solid ballast?..seems like it would need a lot of water to sink her? thats a lot of space?

[JbeckJ]

@porpoisefathom A little less of ½ the length of the sub are the ballast tanks. Its 18m long and the pressure hull is app 10m

@JbeckJ your info is much appreciated!!!..im building one 51.5 ft x 7 ft diameter--yea i had to calculate to use almost 2/3rds of the hull volume to sink her...

[porpoisefathom]

whats the hull thickness in inches? is it 1/2 inch rolled plate?

[JbeckJ]

@porpoisefathom Its app 2cm thick. Same as denmark use for windmills
